The latest version of Apple's macOS operating system, macOS High Sierra, has been released. If you have upgraded your system already, how did the upgrade go? Did you encounter any problems? If you have not yet updated, why have you chosen not to?
My reason: to port my software for benefit of users who suffer Macs. But no way in hell I'm buying grossly overpriced Apple hardware, and hackintosh failed to install on either of last two Intel machines I own within the limit of effort I consider acceptable. Thus, no, sorry, no working OSX builds of my free software.
This stands in contrast to the other evil company, who provides gratis native toolchains, doesn't oppose free cross toolchains, and sometimes even give out licenses for fully working versions (like Windows Insider Edition).

This worked for me. And not an overpriced chunk of Apple hardware in sight.
